trump on the war with Iran -
“It’s always been a four-week process.
We figured it will be four weeks or so.
It’s always been about a four-week process so - as strong as it is, it’s a big country,
it’ll take four weeks
- or less.”
🤦♂️
When / if the current conflict with Iran ends, I guess Trump will add it to the list of wars he has solved.
"With the support of his new 'Bored of Peace' coalition, President Trump launched Operation Epstein Fury"
I am curious as to how BlueSky works as a "breaking news" source. My feed has so far just one mention of the US attacks on Iran after several hours. Twitter is I suspect totally awash with it (I refuse to go look) - so what is happening here?
I think this is all due to a typo. Trump intended to say "Bored of Peace" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

So Trump has gone to war with Iran to destroy nuclear capabilities that he claimed he had already totally obliterated months ago, because they wouldn't negotiate a nuclear deal that he cancelled. Makes total sense. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
Second part of my article on how hearing works covering how the hair cells work - aimed at a general audience. Part of my writing on Substack aimed at folk with hearing loss from causes such as Meniere's disease.

BILLIONS for the "Board of Peace"
BILLIONS for "defense"
BILLIONS for ICE
no dollars for life-saving aid

Given that hearing about events in the USA now seems to make many people wince these days, I guess Trump has succeeded in making "America" grate again.
I do wonder if this "misconduct in public office" is their way in to uncovering the potentially bigger story... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

There's only one thing worse than not planning ahead and that's, er, give me a minute...
I went to the doctor today and told him I keep feeling as if I'm 10 seconds ahead of everyone.
He said "Come in"

#questionstoaskeveryday
~Why aren't the Epstein files released?
~Why is ICE now empowered to demand "PAPERS PLEASE" and enter homes without a warrant?
~Why are the funds from the sale of the seized Venezuelan oil being put in an account in Qatar?
Huawei sounds like it should be a Geordie company...
Now two.
"Hello, I'd like a gin and tonic"
"ICE?"
"No, I want a gin and tonic not a shot"
Make it viral.
J.D.Vance just made a potentially bad mistake. He admitted that the ICE agent who killed Renee Good was not at that point up to the job, being traumatised from a previous incident with a car. Whoops.

Desperate times. Fear and doubt are the easiest things to prey upon. Decades of massive progress in understanding and combating disease and improving health are being cynically undone, and suffering and death will inevitably result. Do not go quietly. sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-cdc-is-l...
